Half Marathon/5K

Donate to the Knoxville Youth Runs program. KYR is an eight-week program taking place in local elementary and middle schools in the Community Schools Program. The eight-week session teaches our youth the FUNdamentals of running and provides the foundation for healthy living. The program is offered at no cost to students or program sites. Students learn to set goals and receive medals only when they meet their goals. Students also learn teamwork, respect for others, and leadership skills. 

Funds go directly to programming materials including participant t-shirts, water bottles, medals, behavior incentives, coach supplies, and other items necessary for providing the program. 

KTC is a 501C3 organization with over 54 years of experience providing events and programs in the region. In addition to Knoxville Youth Runs, KTC offers year round road and trail races, the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, RunKNOX programming, social programming, educational programming, and a youth greenway series. 

Healthy living, healthy community - one step at a time.
